Cost of living(individual)

When I visited Taiwan, my buddy mum said that their cost of living is still okay. The wet markets there are reasonably priced for an average household. However, for supermarkets that are in shopping malls are more expensive and may not appeal to the needy family. Due to the high price, my buddy's parents usually got to the wet market to buy fresh produce. For other luxury items, it depends on where you buy it. If the place has a lot of tourist coming to visit, the prices will be higher. In conclusion , the cost of living in Taiwan is fairly reasonable if you don't buy things in the department stores.
